Fish-A-Thon 2010: Team Upper Midwest Outdoors
Shane Hendricks & Dan Ryks
St. Paul, MN
Fishing: lower St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers
Issue:
Team Upper Midwest Outdoors consists of Shane Hendricks of UpperMidwestOutdoors.com and Dan Ryks of RiverDansGuideService.com.
Cause: Team Upper Midwest Outdoors is fishing to raise awareness for the need to get urban kids outside. All children need un-structured playtime in nature, but for kids from the city, it can be an even greater hurdle to overcome to get them away from the Playstation or X-Box, off the streets, and into the woods and the creeks. Fishing For Life runs a great program to help get inner city kids into the outdoors and hooked on fishing, so a portion of our funds will go to help that program.
We encourage everyone to take kids outdoors when they go fishing, no matter if the kid is from the city center, the suburbs or the rural communities. Help overcome Nature Deficit Disorder!
